The present disclosure generally pertains to novel water soluble oligomeric and polymeric additives derived from oligomeric and polymeric amines； esters or halides of twin tail alkyl group comprising acids with intervening quaternary ammonium groups； optionally and preferably hydrophilic group comprising compounds capable of reacting with primary, secondary or tertiary amino groups； and optionally hydrophobic group comprising compounds. The compounds of the invention are useful as additives for aqueous film forming foam agents, and can perform as partial or complete replacements for fluorosurfactants and/or fluorinated foam stabilizers in foams.
